Around the latter part of 1874 to the early part of 1875 a rabid dog bit James, age 19, and his nephew, William Byla Ribble, age 4. The story goes that Uncle James saw Byla in trouble with the dog heading toward him. Uncle James tried to rescue Byla, but both were bitten. The date they were bitten is not known yet they both died in January 1875. They lived at the border of Hood County and Parker County. Byla's mother's family had lived in that area for years and many Bakers are buried there.
